"i like you madelyn. i like you a lot."

"i like you too, karev."

"how about we don't see other people."

"i think i can work with that." madelyn joked.

"great. good." alex stumbled. the moment was ruined when his pager started to beep.

"go. i'll see you later." said madelyn. alex let go of her waist and walked out of the room. she look over, to see meredith staring at her.

"oh, shit." madelyn mumbled under her breath.

"meredith, meredith!" madelyn called after her sister, who had started to walk away.

"meredith!" she said for a final time, grabbing her sisters arm and twirling her around.

"alex karev? alex karev!"

"look meredith, i'm sorry i haven't told you. everything just kinda happened last night."

"you slept with him!?"

"you slept with derek!"

"that was different. and i'm being mature about it."

"is it that different, meredith? is it really?"

"shut up. at least i don't sleep around. especially with guys like alex karev." meredith spat before turning on her heal and walking away.

meredith stood frozen for a moment, holding back her tears before she went to find somewhere where people weren't. she found an empty supply closet and sat behind one of the shelf's.

madelyn let out faint sobs, heartbroken of how her sister has treated her, in front of everybody.

meredith wasn't really good at saying the right thing when it came to her sister. deep down, she was just worried, but it came out as anger.

madelyn looked up as she heard the door open. she peaked around the corner to see a bobbing blonde ponytail.

izzie saw madelyn in the corner, and walked closer to her.

"hey, madelyn." she said in a soothing voice,

"hey, what's wrong?"

"mer said i sleep around. izzie, do i sleep around?" madelyn sobbed.

izzie pulled the brunette into a hug, her scrubs getting soaked with her tears.

"it, it's not even that bad. it's just, it's just meredith said it. if someone else said it, i wouldn't have give a shit." madelyn explained.

"i know. it's alright, just let it all out." izzie soothed.

"you're really good at this."

"at what?"

"at listening." madelyn sniffled. she pulled away from izzie, wiping the remaining tears from her eyes.

"how do i look? are my eyes red and puffy?"

"sort of. hard to tell in the dark."

madelyn rolled her eyes, taking a deep breath.

"thanks."

💙💙💙

"hey alex!" madelyn said, coming up from behind him.

"hey mads. what's up?"

"your place tonight?"

"sure." he agreed, pecking her lips.

"i'll see you when our shift ends." madelyn nodded, and alex walked away.

"so, you and karev, huh?" christina asked, causing madelyn to jump slightly.

"yeah. it's nice. he's nice."

christina scoffed.

"evil spawn is not nice."

"whatever."

"i heard you and meredith fought in the middle of the e.r."

"yeah we did, she told me i slept around. i'm over it. just gonna wait until she apologizes."

"that might take a while. it's meredith."

"you're right. it is meredith."

"i'll see you later." christina waves before walking away. madelyn took a deep breath, continuing on with her work.

💙💙💙

"hey alex, ready to go?"

"yep." he put his arm around her waist, madelyn leaning into him. they walked to his car and drove to his apartment.

"meredith and i got into a fight."

"yeah, i heard. everyone did."

"shut up." madelyn shoved.

"hey, i'm just saying."

"we should head to bed soon."

"to sleep or..."

alex started to tickle madelyn's sides.

"alex, stop!" she said between laughs,

"i'm serious. you better stop." madelyn begged.

"okay, okay." alex gave in. helping madelyn up from the couch.

"cmon. we need to sleep." madelyn said, pulling alex to the bedroom.

💙💙💙

alex and madelyn slipped into the interns room later then the others. bailey had been giving a speech about morning rounds.

madelyn walked out to her locker beside meredith, both of the twins ignoring each other.

"have a fun night with alex?" meredith sarcastically broke the silence. madelyn shot meredith daggers.

"shut up." she muttered under her breath.

"would you like to speak up? or are you hiding something else from me too?" meredith asked, getting all up in madelyn's face.

"i said, shut up!" madelyn said louder. the whole locker room turned towards the girls.

"mom would be disappointed." meredith spat.

"yeah, in you!" madelyn shot back.

"hey hey hey!" christina yelled, breaking up the girls.

"you guys are sisters! family! act like it!" christina turned to meredith first.

"meredith, stop being a bitch! madelyn, your attitude is not helping the situation. now, both of you apologize." christina scolded. both the girls muttered sorry.

"now, hug it out." christina instructed. the twins shot chirstina hateful glares.

"can you believe her?" madelyn asked meredith, motioning to christina.

"god. she thinks this some kind of soap opera. jeez christina." meredith continued.

christina rolled her eyes in annoyance, secretly glad that it was her that helped the sisters talk to one another again.

"i better get good patients today. yesterday i had two guys with colostomies who needed dressing changes every 15 minutes." meredith complained.

"boo hoo." madelyn added.

"i'm gonna be in surgery. today's my day." said christina.

"on what?" meredith asked.

"like i'd tell you."

"what do you know?"

"i know that i was here at 4:00, and you didn't get here till 4:30."

"tell me."

"no. i'm not the intern who's screwing an attending."christina shot before walking away. meredith quickly followed.

"i'm not screw-,"

madelyn didn't hear the rest of meredith's sentence as she walked out of ear shot.

💙💙💙

madelyn was rushing around the patient room, doing whatever shepherd was telling her too, trying to be useful.

madelyn stopped when she saw meredith, alex, and george at the door, staring at the patient.

meredith walked in first, looking at the head c.t.

"those look like,"

madelyn cut her off,

"nails."
